"The editors invited many authors from around the world to provide the reader with a truly global picture of adventure programming and adventure travel, from theoretical and applied perspectives. The chapter authors were invited as they are all key researchers and authors in their respective disciplines and the case study authors represent experts in a particular academic field or are practitioners or professionals working in the adventure field and industry. The inclusion of the professionals' perspectives is a unique aspect of this edition as in many cases they present real-life case studies that reflect the day-to-day realities of the adventure profession. Many of the case studies written by commercial adventure tour operators or adventure program managers also provide practical ideas and implications for practice. The book is structured around the key skills, understanding, and knowledge required by undergraduate students entering the adventure profession, whether as a commercial adventure travel guide, adventure therapist, adventure activity leader, or adventure educator. This book is aimed at a wide range of undergraduate students studying adventure tourism, adventure therapy, adventure education, therapeutic recreation, and outdoor recreation or related fields. The book serves as an important text for those students and a useful resource for faculty and professionals in the field. We expect this volume will also be useful to others such as not-for-profit organizations, adventure recreation directors, commercial adventure travel operators, and government agencies."
